May a private investigator issue a badge or shield to his investigative employees?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only with special permission

  4. If they are also sworn officers

The correct answer is: No

Private investigators are not authorized by law to have badges or shields, which are typically only issued to law enforcement officers. While special permission may sometimes be granted for private investigators to use a badge or shield, it is not a common practice and is not allowed in most cases. Additionally, private investigators do not have the authority or training of sworn officers, so they should not be issuing badges or shields to their employees. Therefore, the most correct answer is B No.
